I have a PopupWindow on my activity, the thing is my PopupWindow still shows even when I'm interacting with my activity (say scrolling on my list). I can scroll through my list and the PopupWindow is still there.

What I want to achieve is when I'm touching/scrolling/clicking/etc on the screen which is not the PopupWindow, I want to dismiss the PopupWindow. Just like how a menu works. If you clicked outside of the menu, the menu will be dismissed.

I've tried setOutsideTouchable(true) but it won't dismiss the window. Thanks.

Please try to set setBackgroundDrawable on PopupWindow that should close the window if you touch outside of it.
